As the entire Divine Maiden Sect’s cultivators headed upward, countless Supreme Elders, Elders, the Sect Leader, and other high-ranking members had already appeared at the peak of Divine Maiden Peak, staring in shock and fear at that world.
While the endless female cultivators could only sense the apocalyptic power, the high-ranking members of the Divine Maiden Sect all had their faces transform with disbelief, terror, trembling, unease, and as if facing a formidable enemy.
"A Saint realm expert?"
"A supreme entity!"
Several Supreme Elders of the Divine Maiden Sect instinctively exclaimed, their aged faces full of utter shock.
Their shock wasn’t at the appearance of a supreme entity, but the overwhelming presence. Without even gazing, one could sense that, atop the vast snowy skies, there were more than ten thousand supreme beings at the Entering the Saint realm, covering the skies.
The Saint realm experts of the Divine Maiden Sect sensed the aura in that void, and instantly gasped, breathing heavily.
Such a multitude of supreme entities appeared suddenly outside the Divine Sect territories. Not just the Divine Maiden Sect, but any Divine Sect in the Hundred Broken Mountain Range would be terrified out of their wits. This was a Saints Legion. What did that even mean?
However, even though the Divine Maiden Sect was already in disarray, there was still no response from that void, only endless storms of snow, and the expansive, universe-like aura of the Saint realm sweeping across, gripping hearts.
For a moment.
The entire Divine Maiden Sect was greatly alarmed, and everyone’s hearts leapt up to their throats.
Such a terrifying aura had descended, and it was the first time in the history of the Divine Maiden Sect. Unclear whether the visitors were friend or foe, the entire sect held their breath.
The Divine Maiden Sect Leader gazed at that world, his brows furrowed tightly. Though extremely shocked inside, as the leader of the sect, he couldn’t afford to lose his composure first.
Immediately, the Sect Leader’s voice, full of dignified warmth and depth, echoed at the peak of Divine Maiden Sect and spread for hundreds of miles.
"May I know which fellow Daoists are passing by? The Divine Maiden Sect regrets not welcoming you from afar, and we hope fellow Daoists can speak honestly. If you are merely passing through, then the Divine Maiden Sect will gladly give way."
The Sect Leader first slightly cupped his hands towards the boundless snowstorm, then quickly composed himself to speak.
One must commend the old matron, indeed the leader of the sect, for having the demeanor of a strong figure. Though shocked inside, she maintained her calm facade. After all, if the sect leader showed fear now, the entire sect would instantly descend into panic.
Thus, without confirming whether the other party was friend or foe, it was not enough to make a supreme leader, leading hundreds of Saint-level experts, lose composure.
Yet, sensing the irresistible aura from that realm, even the Divine Maiden Sect Leader couldn’t help a slight tremor within.
Seeing the Sect Leader speak up to test the waters, suddenly, the vast Divine Maiden Sect female cultivators all quietly stared at that world, barely daring to breathe.
Not just them, even the Divine Maiden Sect’s high-ranking members felt as if facing a formidable enemy, their mouths dry, staring fixedly at that world.
This scene was too strange; throughout the Hundred Broken Mountain Range, no power could instantly dispatch over ten thousand supreme beings at the Saint realm. That would be a myriad saints, only possible by mobilizing an entire region’s might.
Plus, currently, most of the supreme entities in the Hundred Broken Mountain Range had headed to the Divine Sword Sect’s domain. Thus, the high-ranking members didn’t believe this terrifying force was a ’local power’, nor did they associate it with the Demon Realm, and certainly didn’t connect it to the sibling of that girl.
In the eyes of the Divine Maiden Sect high ranks, this world-sweeping terrifying system was likely the transient force of some earth-shattering Sacred Race.
Yet, after the Sect Leader finished speaking, the boundless snowy skies remained silent, with no response to the Sect Leader’s words.
This sight instantly sent a shiver through everyone; a foreboding feeling rose within all hearts of the Divine Maiden Sect, even causing the many elders beside the Sect Leader to raise their eyes slightly, their faces changing drastically, filled with shock and caution, even a hint of fear in their eyes.
At this moment, the infinite Divine Maidens among the cultivators gasped hard, their eyes tightly fixed on that world.
Finally, at a certain moment.
The wind howled, driving the snow; under the astonished gazes of countless female cultivators, a mysterious youth dressed in white slowly walked out from the snowstorm. His white robe was whiter than the snow, and his figure was upright, each step bringing him from the hazy snow into everyone’s sight.
The cold wind stirred the snow on the ground, with each step the youth took, the infinite snow parted over his knees, lifting the layers of his robe.
As the youth appeared, it seemed almost coincidental that the blinding snowstorm began to dissipate, revealing more of the land with every gust carrying the snow flowers away, and beyond the rolling snow sea, the myriad saints appeared like deities in the vast void behind the boundless snowstorm.
Not only that, along with the myriad saints emerging behind the youth, there was an endless army resembling celestial soldiers and generals.
The youth, amidst the vast army and ten thousand saint-level snowfall, walked alone from the snowstorm, stepping towards the Divine Maiden Sect. That world seemed like a breathtaking painting.
Upon the appearance of the youth’s figure and the myriad saints’ legion in the snowstorm, countless Divine Maiden Sect cultivators shuddered, dumbfounded on their spot in this world.
The recent rumors within the Divine Maiden Sect about the Sect Leader’s imminent possession of the Celestial Snow Divine Body seemed calm on the surface, yet waves were surging beneath. Every disciple had heard something about it.
And the moment that silhouette appeared, what first emerged in the minds of the oceanic female cultivators was the Celestial Snow Divine Body’s brother, the Sword Saint’s apprentice.
Atop a certain Spirit Peak.
When Ji Xiaoyu and several other women saw the youth in white, they were like struck by lightning, their delicate bodies trembling violently.
Though the white-robed youth hadn’t spoken, intuition told them—he had arrived!
"It’s him, it’s him, it must be him."
Ji Xiaoyu stared across the void at the youth in white, her entire being trembled with excitement, her words extraordinarily agitated. Even though the white-robed youth hadn’t revealed his identity, Ji Xiaoyu and the others already had their answer.
For the youth’s handsome features and posture somewhat resembled Ye Xiaoyue, combined with his age and the timing of his arrival, it seemed to be telling them the person must be Ye Xiaoyue’s brother, Ye Xiaofan.
What shocked these women most was the terrifying supreme entity group behind the white-robed figure and the endless vast army.
"Sister Yu, is it really him? Great, it’s really Sister Xiaoyue’s brother?"
"I’ve seen his portrait in Sister Xiaoyue’s room before, it’s him indeed, it’s Ye Xiaofan. Sister Yu, it’s really Sister Xiaoyue’s brother."
"Sister Xiaoyue’s brother is still alive, he hasn’t died, hurry, hurry and tell Sister Xiaoyue, he’s still alive, he’s come to save her."
The few female cultivators beside Ji Xiaoyu were not only shocked but also overjoyed, so excited as if the person arriving was their own brother, all extremely thrilled. Some silhouettes already darted off rapidly towards the underground world where Ye Xiaoyue was confined, tears glistening at their eyes’ corners.
However, at this moment, Ji Xiaoyu seemed transfixed, staring dumbly at that world-shocking scene, unable to speak for a long time.
In the boundless snow, with an army of hundreds of thousands as a backing, the myriad saints descended, and a figure dressed in white moved slowly, stepping through the snow towards a legendary sect.
At this moment, the figure in white left an indelible impression on the female cultivators of the Divine Maiden Sect, all of whom were amazed by his unparalleled grace.
Such a sight, such a style, was there anything that could be compared to a stranger as beautiful as jade, a young master unmatched under heaven?
Yet, as the high-ranking members of the Divine Maiden Sect saw the youth in white approaching with the snowfall, they all jerked violently, each of them standing frozen atop the Divine Maiden Peak, breathing heavily to the extreme.
"Impossible, it cannot be him!"
